A Provence Cooking Vacation  
can be fun when market day comes.  
Each of the larger villages in Provence
hold a market day, some more than
one.  
This is a day when vendors come from
distant areas with fish meat wines and
produce.
If you are in a small village this is a
good time to buy fresh fish and other
ingredients not available in the village
stores. Wine and olive oil,cheese and
especially fish come in mobile vans to
the festive markets.
